Torre del Reloj, Spain

Barcelona, Spain

Inactive since about 1860. The top of the tower formerly carried a lantern and gallery instead of the clock faces seen today. It was converted to a clock tower in 1911. Lights were provided in Barcelona as early as 1697. This is the only survivor of a rather large number of harbor lights built and removed at various times as the port developed.

Build: 1772
Construction: brick
Height: 20 m


other sizes: small medium large original auto
